Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds have made a surprising move amid the legal battle

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are doing just fine.

Lively, 37, shared a smiling selfie with her husband of nearly 13 years via Instagram Story on Sunday, March 16. Alongside the selfie, she also shared three photos of cookies and cupcakes resembling horses that the family baked together.

Lively captioned one of the snaps, “The family that bakes together… stays sick on buttercream together.”

It appears Lively and Reynolds, 48, are focusing on spending quality time together amid an ongoing legal battle with Lively’s It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni. Both parties have issued statements as they wait for a judge to rule on Lively’s request for a stronger protective order.

During a March 6 hearing, Lively’s legal team accused Baldoni’s lawyers of having “created improper disclosure of information.”

“We want to stop the public publication of this information, in the case, during discovery. The rules try and prevent the burden to be on the third parties,” the actress’ lawyer said during the hearing. “We should not make the dozens of third parties run to the court for protection. We are supposed to reduce the burden on third parties. He should drop the third-party subpoena against the security firm that protects Lively and Reynolds.”

Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s lead attorney, disputed the claims.

“These are matters of ‘for attorney’s eyes only’ restrictions,” Freedman said on Thursday. “This is a case where no one has any intention of harming Ms. Lively in any way. She detailed the 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual harassment claims and put that out there. My clients have been adjudicated as guilty right when this was filed. My client has a right to fight back and to defend himself. We want to agree to the protective order and place the burden on the party, who wants greater protection, to go to court and be transparent.”

Lively’s team is also attempting to protect “high-profile individuals” with whom she may have spoken or otherwise corresponded about her experiences with Baldoni.

“There is a significant chance of irreparable harm if marginal conversations with high-profile individuals with no relevance to the case were to fall into wrong hands,” her attorney claimed.

Freedman appeared unmoved by the claim. “We cannot treat celebrity people, and people who are powerful in the industry differently from other people,” he responded.

Lively and Reynolds requested a stronger PO in February.

“As detailed in Ms. Lively’s Amended Complaint, Ms. Lively, her family, other members of the cast, various fact witnesses, and individuals that have spoken out publicly in support of Ms. Lively have received violent, profane, 𝓈ℯ𝓍ist, and threatening communications,” a letter from Lively and Reynolds, noting Lively was seeking “additional protections.”
